In the past decade, the area of solid state chemistry of actinides has witnessed a rapid
development in China, based on the significantly increased proportion of the number of …

Endohedral actinide fullerenes are rare and a little is known about their molecular
properties. Here we characterize the U2@ C80 system, which was recently detected …

The small C28 cage has been shown experimentally to encapsulate titanium, zirconium, and
hafnium (M), among other elements. Here, we explore computationally its magnetic …

The actinide endohedral fullerene Th@ C76 was successfully prepared in a very recent
experiment (Wang et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2017, 139, 5110) yet without any structural …

In recent years, endohedral metallofullerenes involving the C50 cages have been observed
experimentally to encapsulate several metal atoms. This is the last step in a bottom-up …

Only a single thorium fullerene, Th@ C84, has been reported to date (Akiyama, K.; et al. J.
Nucl. Radiochem. Sci. 2002, 3, 151–154). Although the system was characterized by UV–vis …

The experimentally characterized endohedral metallic fullerenes involving the small C28
cage, has shown to be able to encapsulate zirconium, hafnium, and uranium atoms, among …

A transition in point group symmetry from C 2 to D 6d in the classical cage isomer of C24
cluster is observed after encapsulation of a plutonium atom within it. This encapsulation …

Based on the density functional theory, the geometric and electronic structures, chemical
stability, and bonding properties of the endohedral metallofullerenes, M@ C20 (M= Eu3 …

The coordination number of a given element affects its behavior, and consequently, there is
great interest in understanding the related chemistry, which could greatly promote the …
